Hermès Bellevue in Downtown Bellevue.
The French house chose The Bravern for its first Pacific Northwest boutique in 2009, outgrew the space within five years, and now holds the NE 8th Street corner of the Shops with all 14 of its métiers under one roof.
Hermès Bellevue — listed on hermes.com as Hermès Seattle, though it has never been anywhere but downtown Bellevue — is the house’s only boutique in the Pacific Northwest, at 11111 NE 8th St, Suite 115, in The Shops at The Bravern. It holds the NE 8th Street side of the center, the orange doors visible from the arrival court and the garage ramp, a few doors from Louis Vuitton and Prada. The Bravern describes it as encompassing all 14 product categories of the house, and names the pieces people cross the lake for: leather goods including the Birkin and Kelly, fine silk scarves and ties, and men’s cashmere. It is not in Bellevue Square; the Collection has never had an Hermès.
DBN reported the tenant announcement in September 2008, when The Bravern said the French house would make Bellevue its first Pacific Northwest location in a 2,100-square-foot store, and covered the October 2009 opening a month after the rest of the center — Hermès opened on its own schedule and, at the time, was the only Bravern store closed on Sundays. By April 2014 the Bravern was promising a two-floor, 9,300-square-foot expansion; in May 2015 city permits showed Prada taking the original space and Hermès moving to a larger spot closer to NE 8th, and by January 2016, when Prada opened in the old suite, the move was done. The boutique has been in its current quarters since that summer of 2015.
It is the stop for a milestone gift, a first scarf, or a visitor who wants the Bravern luxury loop in one afternoon. For the rest of downtown’s stores, browse our downtown Bellevue shopping directory.
What You’ll Find at Hermès Bellevue
The categories below are the ones The Bravern names for this boutique; the house itself publishes nothing store-specific beyond the address.
Leather Goods
The Bravern’s directory names the Birkin and Kelly outright: handbags, wallets and small leather goods handcrafted the way the house has done it since 1837. Availability of specific bags is never published — ask in store.
Silk Scarves & Ties
Fine silk is the house’s other calling card, and The Bravern lists scarves and ties for this boutique. DBN has covered Hermès scarf-tying sessions at the center’s seasonal showcases for a decade.
Ready-to-Wear
Men’s cashmere is called out by name in the Bravern description; the boutique carries the house’s ready-to-wear alongside the accessories most people come for.
All 14 Categories
The Bravern describes the store as encompassing all 14 product categories of the house — the whole métier range under one roof, which is why the 2015 move into larger quarters mattered.
Where it sits on price: Hermès sits at the very top of downtown Bellevue’s price ladder, level with Louis Vuitton a few doors away: full-price luxury, no discounting, where a silk scarf or a small leather good is the way in and the handbags are the destination. Treat it as the splurge stop on the Bravern loop, not the browse.
